What customers are saying ....

We celebrated our son's 9th birthday party with the dog sledding teams and I can honestly say it was the most wonderful birthday party ever. The dog sledding was just perfect. The husband and wife team were so lovely answering all our questions while we got to ride through fields, over streams and back by the tipis again. The dogs are very well behaved and the owners were so patient with everyone. My son exclaimed at the end of the day that "...this was the BEST day of my life- ever!" The one part I didn't mention, it simply poured rain the whole time, but it didn't matter. It was that Great.
